G'Day, Q1. A friend has badly scratched his linear polymer kayak in a forced landing on an oyster covered rock. Its aesthetic only but he's a navy man and takes great pride in his boat. Can any one advise how to repair such scratches? Q2. The waste water tube from my hand pump passes from the cockpit through the day hatch and the seal around the tube is starting to leak slightly. The seal looks like some kind of resin built up around the base of the tube. Can anyone advise how to waterproof or replace it? Is there a water proof paint or treatment that would be appropriate? Neither of us owns a dog so can't try having it lick the seal or the scratch:~) All best wishes for the holiday, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
